2020 TRD OR DCSB EIBACH 2” Lift

I spent many hours on TW researching what I needed for my Tacoma. I came up with the following and just made these modifications to my truck. Thanks to all who contribute to this forum!

Eibach Pro-Kit Stage 1 - purchased and assembled by Headstrong Off-Road. Strut was assembled at the lowest setting to achieve 2” lift. Nailed it. Perfect 2” on the front. No sway bar relocation mounts were included or installed. No issues. Good clearance.

Headstrong 1/4” spacer for driver side Taco lean. Installed. Worked like a charm.

Headstrong 1.5” 3 Leaf AAL for rear lift. I removed my factory overload spring (optional) when I did the install. Raised the rear perfect to leave a 1/2” rake from rear to front.

Method Mesh Wheels - 17x8.5 O offset. 4.5” of backspace.

BFG K02 285/70r17 C load tires

No rubbing of tires on any suspension components. No plastic rubbing on road or mild off-road. Untested on trails.

I was surprised at the lack of power loss when going from 265/70r16 factory tires to the 285/70 BFGs. I was already set to regear to 4.88s. I may rethink that after a few weeks of driving.

The Eibach lift rides exceptionally well on road. My ride quality may have diminished a tad bit but I think improved in other areas - cornering, nose dive, side to side bumps, etc. I like it and I’m happy with the quality for the price I paid. The tires alone, while C rated, diminished overall ride quality more than the lift alone. I’m not knocking either one. I love the new setup. Just being honest.

 

Looking good

 

Turned out awesome, i have the same lift coming can’t wait to get it installed next week

 

Nice build! Looks great.

 

Any pics looking down the side to see the poke of the wheels and tires. I have the same lift and keep debating tires and wheels.
I like what you did.

 

That looks sweet. Thanks for the pics. Now to decide on the wheels.

 

I finally pulled the trigger based on your post. 285/70/17 c load Falken Wildpeaks mounted to Icon Compression wheels. Same specs as yours.
But dang it, on back order. Will not ship until the end of next week.

Question, what did you do for alignment? I have heard some guys change castor? any thoughts?

 

I had my alignment done at a local shop and they used the factory specs. I have considered going back and having the castor set to +3-4*, following other recommendations. On a good day, I have no issues. On a windy day, the steering seems a little loose or overly exaggerated. I’m unsure if positive castor will solve this problem or its inherent with the higher profile.

 

Thanks for the response, I am probably OK for now. Just had my alignment done to factory as well.

 

You’ll need aftermarket UCAs for that.

 

Looks awesome, probably going to go the same route next spring. It's probably just the camera angle but that second picture sure looks like you're rocking some serious camber.
